For sale: a 2014 Gibson ES-335 1963 Reissue in exceptional condition.

Built at Gibson’s legendary Memphis facility—the true home of the ES series—this guitar represents one of the finest periods of semi-hollowbody production. The Memphis factory has earned a reputation among players and collectors worldwide for producing some of the best ES guitars Gibson has ever made, thanks to its exceptional craftsmanship, carefully selected woods, and uncompromising attention to detail.

The ’63 Reissue faithfully captures the spirit of the early-1960s ES-335, featuring the classic body shape, vintage-correct specifications, and a neck profile that perfectly recreates the feel of the original instruments.

Factory-equipped with Gibson’s MHS (Memphis Historic Spec) humbuckers, which, in my opinion, are the finest PAF reproductions Gibson has ever produced. These pickups deliver everything players expect from a great vintage PAF: openness, clarity, outstanding dynamics, rich harmonic content, and that elusive three-dimensional quality that defines the very best vintage Gibsons.

The tone is warm yet articulate, beautifully balanced, with crystal-clear cleans and smooth, singing overdrive. Whether you play blues, jazz, classic rock, or anything in between, this guitar responds effortlessly to every touch.

Since the closure of the Memphis factory, these instruments have become increasingly collectible. They represent a unique chapter in Gibson’s history and are widely regarded as some of the finest modern ES-335s ever built.

A premium Custom Shop instrument for players who appreciate history, craftsmanship, and uncompromising tone.
